My 15 month old daughter has swollen neck glands/nodes for the past 8 months. At a routine 7 month development check the dr noticed a swollen lymph node. She advised it didn't concern her and that it was still there in two weeks see my GP. I did, she also wasn't too concerned and issued a prescription to take to clear any infections that may have been lingering. It didn't make it smaller an I thought it was getting bigger so my daughter was referred to a pediatrician.
I was advised the waiting could be up to 10 months so decided to go private. I seen the specialist who gave her a very thorough physical exam and ordered blood tests. He said it wasn't getting bigger and was easily moveablr but it was just another node swollen beside it. He ordered blood tests. He called to tell me these were normal. He said he was certain it was not anything serious as the glands were moveable.
I tried to not obsess about it. In the meantime at 13 months her public appointment came through. She seen a different pediatrician who said they didn't feel like anything suspicious and didn't need to see us for follow up. She mentioned that one result was slightly off. So she ordered a retest. It was that some cells were sticking together but 5/10 will have this show up in their results. Then she advised she'd only call back if there was a problem.
Once again I tried to get on with thing. Only now my daughter has developed two more swollen glands close by. The feel the same, but I called my GP just to see if they ever received the second set of bloods from 7 weeks ago and they have not.
I'm going out of my mind thinking my baby has lymphoma. Has anyone any information that could shed some light on this?
I try to think positively that two Drs have seen her, not concerned about how they feel. But now more are popping up. It's a real concern.
